Join the Disaster Risk Management Professional Practice Group for this lunchtime webinar on climate change, disaster risk management and the role of geography.
We will be joined by Michal Lorinc, Head of Catastrophe Insight, Aon Impact Forecasting, who provide an overview of weather, catastrophe and climate events which have affected the world in 2022 and look at some of the circumstances which exacerbated the events, and also cover lessons learned for disaster mitigation in the future. Michal will cover some of the following topics:
-
Where have events in 2022 impacted people and what were the causes?
-
Can climate and weather events still be described as natural disasters?
-
What is the role of disaster risk management in mitigating against climate and weather events?
-
How is the insurance sector looking to quantify and measure these events?
The Society aims to provide automatically-generated captions for all event recordings. The captions appear as text at the bottom of the video which you can toggle on and off. The accuracy of automatically-generated captions varies depending on the audio quality, any specialist language used and the speaker. They are therefore are unlikely to be 100% accurate and the Society does not edit or correct automatically-generated captions.
